The last real pool hall in St. Louis.
Four generations of our family have been selling slate pool tables, hand-crafted cues, and soft-tip darts — and running the 17-table billiard parlor that locals just call home.
Family-owned since Bob opened the doors
Tables in the parlor — including Snooker & 3-Cushion
Genuine slate. Never imitation. Never cheap.
No Alcohol. No smoke. All ages welcome.
What We Do
Everything you need — and nothing you don't.
We don’t chase trends. We sell the slate tables, the quality cues, and the soft-tip darts we’d use ourselves — and we’ve been doing it the same way for four generations.
The Parlor · 2425 Woodson Rd
Seventeen tables. Zero distractions.
No alcohol. No smoke. No loud music drowning out the break. Just seventeen quality tables — including a 5×10 Snooker table and two 3-Cushion tables, one of them heated — and the people who know them best.

Why Cue & Cushion
Three reasons St. Louis players keep coming back.
Voted Best Pool Room in St. Louis (Riverfront Times, 2009) and recognized nationally in the billiards community — because we stock only what we’d use ourselves.
Slate only. Always has been.
We’ve never sold a table with imitation slate, particleboard, or aluminum cues and plastic balls. If we wouldn’t play on it, we won’t sell it to you.
The installer is legendary.
Our table mechanic has traveled the country teaching others how to level, recover, and set up slate tables. When we install yours, it plays true — the first time.
